STEFANIE POSAVEC
Stefanie moved from Denver, Colorado to London in 2004 and after undertaking an MA Communication Design at Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design, never left (her accent has gone wrong somewhere in the mid-Atlantic, admittedly).
She is an award-winning designer for whom data is her favoured material, with projects ranging from data visualization and information design to commissioned data art for a variety of clients. Her personal work focuses on the visual or physical representation of data derived from language, literature, or scientific topics, often using a hand-crafted approach. This work has been exhibited internationally at major galleries including at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Centro Cultural Banco Do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro; the Science Gallery, Dublin; and the Victoria & Albert Museum, Southbank Centre, Science Museum, and Somerset House, London.
